[Flame]

Well, while it certainly sounds interesting, dont know how it would work- the variable weapons system is a Buster thing. He would need a copy chip or something otherwise- and even then he cant equip armors on the fly. at most he can carry 1 armor to switch out with.

[KaZudra]

I had an Idea for a Megaman game, sorta a borderline between MM and MMX where this Megaman could go X mode kinda like Gundam Unicorn goes destroy mode.
MM would go mmX and Protman pretty much goes Zero, never could find where the form switching would have its limits other than MM mode could slide under low areas and X mode could climb walls, the X mode would be cool to have with robot master/mavericks making the game as fun or as hard as you want it.

[Flame]

You DO know Megaman/protoman, and X/Zero are completely different characters right?

[Inccubus]

Well these are ideas for fan projects, so anything goes. Besides, Capcom themselves could come up with something like this and it would be canon even if it contradicts earlier story elements.

And my armor idea would be a revision/rebirth deal so all the canon would be out the window anyway.

[Flame]

mmm. I guess.

let me post some more random source info

4. The Secrets of Zero's Body and Abilities

He possesses abilities no less amazing than X's, and with just as many mysteries surrounding them!

Zero self-destructed in "Rockman X", only to be revived by Sagesse in "X2". (That's the reason for the design changes around his shoulder area and such.) His power source is solar energy like X, while his body material is comprised of a Titanium Z alloy, and is equipped with peculiar mechanisms called the Z-brain (the head lens)  and the Z-heart (the chest lens), which conceal an unknown power.

I. The Vehicles

Raiden [Riden, Ridden]
Ride Armor developed purely for combat by the Repliforce. It utilizes a beam
blade on its arms to attack and a jetpack on its back to aid in jumping and
dashing. The blade can even be charged up for a dash attack. Because its
armoring can withstand extremely high temperatures, it can also be used for
exploration purposes.

Adion
Ride Chaser airbike developed by Dr. Cain for improved speed and power. It
can attack with an energy bullet cannon or performing a dashing attack with the
energy blade on the underside of the vehicle. The antigravity propulsion unit
can also be used to destroy enemies who get too close. Because of the extreme
speed and danger, only the most skilled Hunters are allowed to use them.

fires lightning bullets.

Prism Generator
Trap in Hotarunicus' laboratory that fires rolling plasma bullets. They can only
be destroyed with the Crescent Shot or Mikazukizan.

Gigadeath B
Black version of the Repliforce's Gigadeath weapon. It attacks with reflect
missiles and rocket launchers.

Sigma Virus
Floating purple virus that tries to infect X and Zero. If X gets infected, his energy
will be drained, but strangely, Zero reacts positively to the virus...

Zero Virus
Made from the mixture of the Sigma virus with the virus of the colony that
appears only in Zero Space. It is much faster and more dangerous than the
Sigma Virus.

III. The 8 Irregular Bosses

Crescent Grizzly [Grizzly Slash]
"Runaway Iron Claw"
Strong bear type repliroid who loves to battle tough opponents and sell the
weapons he wins as trophies on the black market. Using the drill arm attached
to his left hand, he can dig underground and through solid rock. The on his right
eye was made by Zero in a previous battle. He has the ori halcon(Crystal Ball)
which can be used in the Enigma.

Volt Kraken [Squid Adler]
"Super-Electromagnetic Trap"
Squid type repliroid who was once a member of the Irregular Hunters 6th fleet.
He was a good friend of Launcher Octopuld, but had doubts about solving every
conflict with brute power, and resigned from the Hunters. Since then he lived a
peaceful life as an energy engineering researcher. His special weapon Tri
Thunder uses a powerful electromagnetic energy shot from his tentacles. From
his job as a researcher he possesses an Energy Cartridge which can be used
for the Enigma.

Shining Hotarunicus [Izzy Glow]
"Shining of Intelligence"
A stubborn firefly type repliroid who is the leading authority on laser engineering.
Fearing his research will be used for destruction, he stays hidden inside his
laser laboratory. He is not very fast, but makes up for it with powerful laser
attacks like the guided Will Laser. He possesses the Laser Device which can be
used in the Enigma.

Tidal Makkoeen [Duff McWhalen]
"Guardian Spirit of the Seas"
Whale type repliroid who is chief of the robot oceanographic museum and
a marine guard captain. A man of the sea, he never hesitates when it comes
to protecting the oceans he loves, and his quarrels with the Repli Sea Force are
never-ending. He attacks by creating ice blocks, and his special weapon the Jel
Shaver slides along the ground shaving whatever it crosses. To acquire the
hydrogen needed to fire the Enigma, the ocean nearest the Hunter base must be
procured, but it is currently protected by Makkoeen.

Spiral Pegacion [The Skiver]
"Air Force Prince"
Young pegasus-type repliroid who has become the leader of the Repli Air Force.
Because of his youth, he is often more passionate than reasonable. He looked
up to and admired his teacher, the Colonel of the Repliforce who had died in the
Great War, and still has not forgotten him. He possesses the Orbiter Wing which
can be used for the Shuttle.

Spike Rosered [Axle the Red]
"Crimson Magic"
Born from a rare mutation of a reploid with a nature control unit in the jungle and
the Sigma virus. The process which caused the mutation is unknown, and it is
possible that this occurrence may become a threat even more dangerous than
the Sigma virus. Hidden in the secret Repliforce facility of the jungle is the
Orbiter Engine which can be used for the Shuttle.

Dark Necrobat [Dark Dizzy]
"Forgotten Warrior of Darkness"
Bat type repliroid who was built as an Irregular by Sigma 3 years ago. He hated
being bossed around and finally escaped from Sigma. Judging that his fighting
ability was insignificant, Sigma forgot about him. He now hides out in the secret
space laboratory of the Planetarium, where there is a Fuel Tank that can be used
for the Shuttle.

Burn Dinorex [Mattrex]
"Jurassic Inferno"
Carnivorous dinosaur type repliroid who was originally a member of the
Repliforce disaster countermeasure team, put in charge of the base at Sanhouse
Mountain. However he secretly converted the base to a warehouse for weapons
he created using magma energy. In his stockpile is a Booster Rocket which can
be used for the Shuttle.

IV. The Mini-Bosses and Special Bosses

Magma Dragoon
Former Irregular Hunter of the 14th unit. His data has been emulated for the
training area.

Sisi Marudump
Enormous trucks used by the weapons broker Grizzly. They have been driven
out of control by the Sigma virus. They can attack with laser cannons and
falling missiles, and sometimes carry enemies or other traps. They explode
once the blue core is destroyed.

Prism Guardian
Mechas which carry out the role of barricades in Hotarunicus' laboratory. Three
will descend at a time, but only the black ones are vulnerable. When all the
black ones are destroyed, the red are destroyed as well.

Death Avenge (U-555)
Enormous fish-shaped mecha displayed in the robot oceanographic museum.
Brought to life by the Sigma virus, it is only defeated after the key points on its
mouth, back, and tail are destroyed.

Pteranoid
Pteranodon type mechaniroid that spits fire and uses a charge attack. It chases
intruders in the Repliforce's Sanhouse Mountain base.

Shadow Devil
Mysterious Devil type boss. In addition to attacking by seperating and reuniting,
it can also transform into a UFO and attack with the W press. Its only weak point
is its eye, which appears in a different positions.

Rangda Bangda W
Redesigned and powered up version of Rangda Bangda. It can close its shutters
quickly and make spikes appear along the walls and floors. It has four points
that must be destroyed, a Red Eye, Green Eye, Blue Eye, and a fireball Solboca.
Each attacks in a different way and has a different weakness.

V. The Heroes and Supporting Characters

Rockman X [Megaman X]
Commander of the Irregular Hunters 17th elite unit. He has fought many
successful missions, but because he has an inner conflict with violence, he
remains a B rank Hunter.

Zero
Special A rank Hunter and Commander of the 0th Special unit. Zero is X's best
friend and partner. The two have fought side by side several times in the past,
but recently Zero is haunted by strange visions.

Signas
Feeling responsible for the many needless deaths resulting from judging the
Colonel as an Irregular and starting the Repliforce Great War, the previous
Irregular Hunter General has resigned.
Urgently, Signas was chosen for the duty. Not intended to be a warrior, Signas
was designed with the latest repliroid advances and possesses the most
precise CPU in existence. Because of his calm judgement and quick thinking,
he was selected to the position of General.

Alia
Repliroid engineering reseaarcher. Her knowledge reguarding repliroids is top
class, and she can design all types of repliroids and mechaniroids. Possessing
a high-speed CPU, she excells in program analysis and instantaneous data
processing. Because of this she was pulled from her job as a researcher in
order to become a supporter for the Hunters. Analyzing the data for X's disposed
armor, she was able to create a duplicate. Because the original materials were
over 100 years old, they could not be completely analyzed and it was impossible
to recreate the armor perfectly. Because it was based on the 4th armor that X
acquired, it was named the Fourth Armor.

Doglas [Douglas]
The head mechanic of the Irregular Hunters. He undertakes the development and
maintenance of the ride armors and other large mechas used by the Hunters. The
number of unalnalyzable black boxes from X and Zero's missions give him
headaches.

Lifesaver
Supporter in charge of health maintenance for the Irregular Hunters. He works to
repair injured Hunters, create virus vaccines, and the like. Apparently he is one
of a mass-produced model of Lifesavors.

Injured Repliroids [Injured Reploids]
Captured behind enemy lines, these repliroids will give powerups to X and Zero
for rescuing them.

Dr. Right [Thomas Light]
X's mysterious creator and supporter. He continues to design new armors for X to use
to crush evil. This time, for security purposes, he gives X armor programs for Alia to
analyze and produce.

VI. The Villains

Dynamo
Mysterious mercenary employed by Sigma, he aided in falling the Eurasia
colony and spreading the Sigma virus. He is mischievous, but his skill exceeds
that of a Special A class hunter. He enjoys bothering X and Zero, and attacks
with the D-Blade, Trick Shot and Earth Geyser.

Sigma (Head)
Enormous head of Sigma that attacked the highway. His attacks included the
Dead Storm, Regret Tear, and Virus Ray. He purposely lost to X and Zero in
order to spread the Virus.

Sigma
Mastermind behind the colony attack. He continues to make trouble for X and
Zero by putting the entire planet in danger. In Zero Space he attacks with the
Hell Spark, Hell Blade and Sigma Virus.

Final Sigma W
Enormous battle body built by the elderly partner of Sigma. It is yet incomplete,
but still very deady. He attacks with its hands, and also fires Regret Tears and
creates strange purple cubes. His weak point is the jewel in the forehead, but he
cannot be harmed when his physical body becomes transparent.

do you guys have or know where to find translations of the Rockman Zero TELOS Drama tracks? Or should I post them here too?

[KaZudra]

You DO know Megaman/protoman, and X/Zero are completely different characters right?

Yeah, I said Borderline, not the missing link everyone wants.
Its kinda a concept where X is a upgrade chip fuction rather than a new Machine, of Course Megaman would also have to be different to be able to transform into X.
Protoman/Zero Comes from the fact that thier both Red and One has a Sword and the other a Shield.

I canned it because I couldn't concept how stages and Bosses would require constant variation between MM and X mode other than Slide and wall climb.
http://youtu.be/n7PxeV2qUPc <-- how MM would become X mode reference (only diff is MM gets taller as X)

[Inccubus]

That bit about Titanium Z alloy is interesting because IIRC Bass is made of Bassnium which is itself a Titanium alloy. Seems that Dr. Wily is also an accomplished metallurgist since his two greatest designs seem created around the use of new alloys.

[Flame]

That bit about Titanium Z alloy is interesting because IIRC Bass is made of Bassnium which is itself a Titanium alloy. Seems that Dr. Wily is also an accomplished metallurgist since his two greatest designs seem created around the use of new alloys.

Bassnium isnt an alloy, it is an energy source. Wily created it purely by accident. Im going to guess it happened when he was messing around with creating an energy source for his "rockman-like" robot.

One which *MIGHT* be a completely new radioactive element Wily created given the '-ium' in conjunction with the fact that it is an energy source, but it isnt a building material. Titanium X and Z are the material X and Zero are made of. Bass is made of whatever Rock is made of.

[Inccubus]

Ah. Still interesting.

[Flame]

But I repeat- should I post the RMZT translations? they are quite interesting reads/listen throughs.

[Inccubus]

Sure, knock yourself out.

Please do

Cyber X: Zero...  You can do it...  You...

Cyber X: The radiance of lives born from the stars...  The cries of the machines created to resemble humans...  The flames of the conflicts that arose from their ideas...  None of these reaches here anymore.  The scenes that rise from the depths of my consciousness as it melts away into the electronic abyss engulfed in silence, Zero, are my memories of the battlefield of a century ago when I fought together with you.  What I can hear, is the last words you left behind a hundred years ago.

X: I...we...are not fighting to enslave anyone.  We are not fighting to injure anyone.  We just...want to create a world where everyone can cooperate!
Omega: Guooooo...
Zero: Omega...after fighting with another one of myself, I finally understood.  What kind of battles I have been fighting up to now.  What my hesitation was up to now.  Now I can say.  My power isn't meant for destruction.  It exists to protect with my friend those he believes in!  (Zero attacks Omega.)  Begone!  My nightmare!
X: Farewell, my destiny.
Zero and X: Final Strike!

Scientist: There hasn't been time for a complete sealing.  Since the suspension of his functions has already begun, I don't know whether a satisfying conversation will be possible.
X: Zero.
Zero: X...?
X: ...Will you be all right like this?  Even though you've been fighting for everyone's sake...in a state like this.
Zero: As long as I'm around...the bloodstained history will repeat itself.
X: Something like that...what are you talking about, Zero!
Zero: I've been constantly thinking...  For whom...for what...must we Repliroids kill one another...  Even at such a time...you kept believing in humans...  I trust you as my friend...  So...the words of the humans whom you believe in...I want to believe in.

My name is..no..as one of the members of Neo Arcadia's city administration bureau, I had no name.
If a "name" is just a simple means of recognition, it is my serial number, TK-31.
This series of numbers is what served as my name.
In order to constantly maintain the humans' utopia, a strict administrative organization, consisting of a large number of mass-produced Repliroids like us, and a group of high-class Repliroids with real names, was necessary.
The human society satisfied by the calm-hearted peace was replaced in number by the society of Repliroids with advanced functionality.
I loved the system of the city Neo Arcadia, so supremely well-managed.
..Heheheheheh.
Yes, up until the moment I took that word as my name!

Coworker A: Look.  It's Harpuia..
Coworker B: So he really has been traveling with the current survey.
Coworker C: If it involves even those guys from the administration bureau and the Hunters, it must be on a large scale.  It's supposed to be very dangerous..a great treasure sleeping.
TK-31: Hey, you..would you stop that chatter over there?
Harpuia (in the background): ....Get the supply team going.  Good.  You are only to collect just the data that is here.  Avoid independent action, and report any situations to the accompanying Hunters.
TK-31: For an information facility from the previous age that kept the prototypes to have been discovered here is extremely unusual.  It's natural that Master Harpuia, representing Master X's administration from the scientific branch, would come to supervise on-site.  Actually, he should consider it an honor..  Heheheheh..

Investigator A: The electricity is working..here?
TK-31: It looks like a huge library.
Investigator B: Whoa..there's an amazing number of doors.  What could so many rooms possibly..
Investigator B: ..H, hey!
TK-31: At that time, I..had no idea what I was doing.  That I would wander as though guided by something into the deepest data room and eat of the forbidden fruit that was the fragments of history sealed away in the darkness..  That reality would spread out unbidden before my eyes, and lift the veil..

TK-31: What is this data room..?  Ah..aah!  Th, this is....  the huge power that led the world to destruction..Dark Elf.  The above-first-degree war criminal, Doctor Vile.  The end of the Elf Wars..the operation to completely control Repliroids.  ..This is Master X!  What.. what are they fighting against.. Omega..?  What.. what is this record..!  I've never seen or heard anything like this!  That reminds me..that at the research facility in Area 7, the Baby Elves from the time of the great war are stored..

(The alarm goes off.)

TK-31: Huh. Wh, what..!  An overflow?!  History is rewinding..  Th, the Irregular Wars.. the Sigma Antibody Program.. Mother Elf.. L, light.. Saving the world.. The birth of hope.. This is.. Project Elpis!
Harpuia: You!  What are you doing over there?
TK-31: Huh..!
Harpuia: What's the matter.. what are you trembling at?  Like I said..you were supposed to just gather data.

(Harpuia turns off the alarm.)

Harpuia: Someone like you, even if you were just interested and following your disgraceful curiosity..still shouldn't know pointless things.  It doesn't matter.  Forget everything you have just seen.  Serial number..TK-31.

After that survey, I returned to Neo Arcadia and would have spent a week there.  During an ordinary day passing peacefully, I felt like that incident was nothing more than some kind of hallucination, as though it had been an illusion projected by signal noise in my memory banks.  Yes, no matter what I had seen, it was completely impossible for my feelings about Neo Arcadia to change at all.

Repliroid: Hey.  Don't you think the energy distribution quotas here have become stricter?
TK-31: We administration bureau Repliroids are treated well despite that.  I have no complaints.
Repliroid: Hmph.  That isn't all.  The Irregular arrest rate has risen 8 percent.  There has never been such an increase..until now.  There's a lot of talk that there were no abnormalities in the group that was retired.  Did you hear?  The group that escaped staged an armed uprising, and engaged in Resistance act..
TK-31: What are you trying to say!  Just who are you..?
Repliroid: I'm HE-22.  I managed environmental preserves from the pre-war days on the environmental bureau.
TK-31: Preserves..?  Oh yeah..you presented the report on that survey.
HE-22: Yeah.  I made the presentation.  That..submerged city was deleted from the records.  You must notice it too.  Something is happening..it's reached a very dangerous level.
TK-31: Hey!  If you keep talking like that, I'll report you to the police!
HE-22: You don't get it!  What is happening lately..to the Repliroids involved in that survey..

(The Hunters show up.)

TK-31: Huh..?!
Harpuia: Nobody move!  This is a warrant from the Hachishinkan.  Serial number TK-31.  You have been designated as an Irregular for treason against the state!  I'm taking you into custody.
TK-31: I, I..?  An Irregular..?
Harpuia: We will regard any who resist as Irregulars and retire them here!

(An explosion occurs.)

Harpuia: What?  The Resistance?!
HE-22: TK-31!  This way!
TK-31: I..treason..?  No.. Neo Arcadia thinks I..thinks I..!*

(Later, in the sewers.)

HE-22: Looks like we got away.  Hey, keep it together, TK-31!  It's all right.  The intelligence you have will be indispensable for freeing our comrades who would be retired on false pretenses.  We've been watching carefully for an opportunity to get you out, since you are acquainted with Neo Arcadia's internal conditions and participated in that survey.  First, let's get out of here.  We'll set up a base of operations.  We'll collect the Resistance members scattered around and make preparations for a rebellion.
TK-31: First.. there's still something I have to do here.  Let's head to the research facility in Area 7.
HE-22: Area 7..?  But that's crazy!  In the middle of this tight security!
TK-31: I want to find out what's going on there!  That's why we have to!
HE-22: What..are you saying is there?  Hey!  Are you listening to me?!  TK-31!
TK-31: Heheheheheh.. Stop calling me by my serial number.  My name is really..Elpis!  I am the one who was chosen to become the hope of all the Repliroids being oppressed in Neo Arcadia!  To do that, Baby Elves, I'll need your..your power!  That's right..power..more power!!

Decision- Eight Gentle Judges

(click to show/hide)

Foxstar: Silence!
Cerberian: Judgment!
Inarabitta: The simple solution to the current situation that the wicked crime of harm to humans is becoming common, preventing reoccurrence, from the standpoint of general precaution is that the serial number Repliroids must be commanded to be punished severely.  Therefore, in the name of the true sovereign Lord X, we designate him as Irregular.  He is to be retired for scrap.1
Cerberian: Designated as Irregular!
X: Today's trial concerning Irregular security is hereby adjourned.1

Inarabitta: I can't understand Master X's verdict today.
Foxstar: Inarabitta!  You speak recklessly.  As protectors of the law, we judges are not perfect to the point of verifying the circumstances he used as a defense.
Inarabitta: But, Foxstar.  Since after all it wasn't known what he ended up seeing, don't you think that designating him as Irregular without lengthy deliberation was too hasty a decision?  It's not like we didn't have more time to discuss it...
Mantisk: And if I thought I had to take an unnecessary life with these hands...it would be a weight on my mind.  Indeed, that my sickles are dull should be proof of peace.
Cerberian: Hm.  But, it's also true that there are humans who cannot just put aside their fear of Irregulars.  Mantisk.  The laws that we are supposed to protect are for humans' sake.  It's hard on us as Repliroids, but...  Master X...has been changed.
Harpuia: Cerberian.
Cerberian: Ah, it's..Sir Sage!
Harpuia: What you said just now..I will pretend that I didn't hear it.  As for the recent increase in Irregulars, it's the incompetence of us Four Guardians as well.  The one to blame for today's verdict...could it have been me?
Cerberian: Take care of yourself, Sir Sage.  The same as Master X, you are a light that shines on everyone.  Please don't blame yourself.  It becomes a breeding ground for dangerous thoughts, the reform of the Irregular reserve troops.3  Preventative treatment, that is, the correction of causes of stress, is necessary.  But, the founding principle of Neo Arcadia naturally was to be cooperation between humans and Repliroids...  Master X...  A better decision...

Alouette's Good Day

(click to show/hide)

Alouette: In our new base, there was a Baby Elf that shone with a weird-colored light. One day, Zero brought us another one as a souvenir from one of his missions. The Baby Elves were just like twins, always twinkling cheerfully, and watching them made me happy too. I know I get in the way of Aunt Ciel's[1] work, and today when I went to see them...

Alouette: I know, right? Hehe. And then, and then, there's this boy named Menart who's always playing tricks on me. Just the other day he pulled on my doll's arm and it got a little frayed. Hmph... Hehehe. But he always gets scolded by Rocinolle afterwards. You Baby Elves better become nice kids who don't play pranks on anyone! Hm...wait a second. It's weird just to keep calling you "the Baby Elves" all the time. Hey! Aunt Ciel! I wonder what kind of names would be good?
Ciel: These Baby Elves...the more I study them, the more surprises I find. Where can they possibly have the power to put out such immense energy in such tiny bodies?
Alouette: Um...Aunt Ciel gave me my name. I really like it. Hey! Aunt Ciel! What kind of names do you think we should give the Baby Elves?
Alouette: Aunt Ciel is always so busy with her research lately. Cerveau said she was up really late last night too.
Alouette: But...if humans don't get enough rest, they get fevers, so I'm worried. I know! If I ask the Operators, they might help think up some good names! Aunt Ciel, good luck with your research.

Ciel: Huh...? I wonder if Alouette was here to play. Ah, shame on me... I got too wrapped up in my research and ended up ignoring her. I'm getting just like the people in Neo Arcadia. How can I not have the time to worry about the people around me? That girl is always having such a hard time, too...

Alouette: Um...
Jaune: Oh, Alouette. Hello.
Rouge: Miss Alouette. I believe you are aware that this area is off-limits to non-combat personnel.
Alouette: I'm sorry! But if I don't come through here I can't go to Aunt Ciel's room, so...
Jaune: The Resistance Base can certainly be inconvenient when it comes to things like this.
Rouge: In that case, I suppose you can't help it. Anyway, is there something we can do for you?
Alouette: Oh, right. I'm thinking of giving the Baby Elves in Aunt Ciel's room names.
Rouge: Names?
Jaune: For the Baby Elves?
Alouette: I thought as hard as I could, but not even one good name came to mind...
Jaune: So you came to see us.
Rouge: Understood. I will attempt to retrieve terms relating to the topic of names for the two Baby Elves.
Alouette: Um, thank you. I wonder if this is such a good idea...
Rouge: Thank you for waiting. How are Anode and Cathode?
Alouette: What do those words mean?
Rouge: They indicate the positive and negative poles of electronic tubes and electrolytic cells. I believe that they are ideal as designations for electronic life forms like the Baby Elves.
Alouette: I think those might be a little too hard...
Jaune: In that case, what about Plus and Minus?
Alouette: Huh?!
Jaune: Ah, just kidding, just kidding!
Alouette: Um, maybe instead of hard ones like that, names like the ones in old books...
Rouge: Books! Ah, recording media used by humans in previous generations. In that case...what about Crime and Punish? They come from the magnum opus of 19th century Russian author Dostoyevsky, "Crime and Punishment." The title of this work, not only a piece of literature including elements of mystery, psychology, and love and fraught with religious influences but also a composition on the Soviet Russia of his day with an eye towards its survival into the future, and which might also be called an Enlightenment treatise, expresses in stunning contrast its theme of analyzing from every angle the salvation of a soul after an act of murder predicated upon atheist revolutionary philosophy...
Alouette: Um...uh...those aren't really cute...
Jaune: Ah, if you want cute ones...how about Love and Peace or something?
Alouette: Uh...hehe...those are kind of cute.
Rouge: Miss Alouette!
Alouette: Yes?
Rouge: If you would prefer cute names, how are Azul Luna and Rojo Sol? It seems that they mean "blue moon" and "red sun," and were used as names for software released at the beginning of the 21st century.
Alouette: Wow..
Jaune: Oh, if we're doing colors, how about Blanc and Noir? White and black. Clear and easy to remember, right?
Alouette: Uh...
Rouge: In addition, there are Technos and Thanatos...
Alouette: Um...
Jaune: Wait a minute. Rouge, yours are all fancy and awkward. How do you think Alouette feels?
Alouette: Um, I don't really...
Jaune: Never mind those. I think simple ones like Cerezo and Virgo[2] are good. Right, Alouette?
Aloeutte: Um...
Rouge: Jaune! You've done nothing lately but complain at me. Black and white, cherry tree and virgin--are you joking? Everything you do is half-baked. The other day, you were even about to input incorrect transfer coordinates!
Alouette: Um, M-Miss Rouge...
Rouge: If you had transferred him that way, Zero would have ended up in the middle of a wall in the Ruins of Dysis!
Aloeutte: Um...
Jaune: Aahhh!
Alouette: M-Miss Jaune...
Jaune: You promised me you would keep that a secret! If that's how it's going to be, what about your simulation of Operation Righteous Strike? At first glance it looks like you precisely calculated the perfect plan, but all you did was mess with the input parameters a little! It's completely worthless!
Alouette: Is this...m-my fault? Ahhh.. I'm sorryyyyy!
Jaune: Instead of just looking at the surface, you should verify the whole thing properly!
Rouge: That's completely irrelevant right now! By the way, I don't suppose you've finished the work Elpis asked you to do?
Jaune: Er...
Rouge: I'm not going to have a thing to say to you when you come crying to me that you're not going to make it in time!
Jaune: S-stop changing the subject, Rouge! As soon as you don't like where the conversation is going you just dodge by changing the subject! It's your worst habit!
Rouge: What did you say?!
Jaune: Huh?!

Alouette: *panting* What should I do? Rocinolle is busy treating the people who came back from the Forest of Dysis, and Dande said something about going on Operation Justice or something, so I can't ask him, and Hibou doesn't care about anything but Energen crystals...
Alouette: Maybe Menart...no, no way! He's just going to tease me again. All the new Resistance people are always so busy, and...they're kinda scary. Ah, why am I worrying about people to ask instead of thinking of names?
Alouette: I wonder if there's someone who knows lots of stuff and has lots of free time...

Alouette: Oh! Grandpa! Grandpa Andrew!
Andrew: Young lady. I'm sorry, but the custard buns are sold out today. I have some jam buns left, though.
Aloutte: Um, I'm not a customer here to buy bread. I'm Alouette.
Andrew: Oh! My mistake. Alouette...right.
Alouette: Grandpa is always telling all kinds of stories, right?
Andrew: Indeed. If you have time, would you care to listen for a while?
Alouette: Yeah...
Andrew: You might not believe it to look at me, but I used to be a schoolteacher. Those kids were always pestering me to teach them something or other. And before that, I worked in a bread factory.
Alouette: Um.
Andrew: And before that, I was a sailor...I think.
Alouette: Um, grandpa?
Andrew: This Resistance Base is close to the sea, so I'm reminded of my time as a sailor.
Alouette: Um, not that kind of story.
Andrew: Huh?
Alouette: T-there's something I was hoping you could tell me...
Andrew: I see. What might that be?
Alouette: I'm thinking of names for the Baby Elves that are in Aunt Ciel's room.
Andrew: Names? Isn't yours Alouette?
Alouette: Not my name. Names for the Baby Elves.
Andrew: Oh? Names to give the Baby Elves? Why didn't you say so? Since you're naming the Baby Elves...I suppose children's names would be nice?
Alouette: Uh-huh.
Andrew: It was during my days as a schoolteacher... There were two very close human girls in the class I taught. They weren't sisters, but they looked so alike they might as well have been twins, both very cute.
Alouette: Yes...so what were their names...um...
Andrew: In those days, human children and Repliroid children still took classes together. The Repliroid children were faster at learning...
Alouette: Umm..
Andrew: And when it comes to exercise, they can do most things without any trouble, but it's not like that with human children.
Alouette: Um, what were their names?
Andrew: Those two didn't have particularly good grades, and they weren't the type that was good at sports. Naturally, they were always being teased by the other Repliroid children. Even if I warned them, just a tick later they would be teasing them again...
Alouette: Um...
Andrew: But those two had one thing going for them. They liked to sing.
Alouette: I see...singing...
Andrew: When it came time for recess, they would use my desk as a stage and sing for everyone.
Alouette: What was the song's name?
Andrew: Then, at least, everyone stopped teasing them and listened happily. Ah, yes. Repliroids can't sing, you see. Even if it sounds like a song, they're just replaying recorded voice data in the end. Humans are the only ones who can sing. The Repliroid children were jealous of those two. They could express their feelings in song in their own words...
Alouette: Wow...
Andrew: That reminds me! The human girl I loved long ago liked to sing too. That must have been...around the time I was still working as a sailor...
Alouette: Uhhh...
Andrew: I think...
Alouette: Grandpa!
Andrew: Huh? Oh. I suppose I got off-topic. I was up to the part about the two girls singing, wasn't I? Not long afterwards, they decided to form a Repliroid security squad, so I had to quit being a teacher. They said that they had to tighten security because of increasing Irregular crime and so on and so forth.
Alouette: Ahh...geez...so, what were their--
Andrew: I was so busy day after day on the security team that I forgot about those two...
Alouette: Oh...Zero!
Andrew: A few years later, I happened to meet them again after rushing to a scene as backup...

Alouette: Um, I'm thinking of giving names to the two Baby Elves that are in Ciel's room. Zero, what kind of names do you think would be good?
Zero: No clue.
Alouette: Huh? Come on, at least think about it!
Zero: Why are you asking me about something like that?
Alouette: 'Cause, you saved the second one, right? How did you feel when you found it?
Zero: I found it deep in some dark ruins. I fought with a Repliroid from Neo Arcadia who was there to take back the Baby Elf. If I remember right, he looked like a snake. The footing was cramped, and he could alter it at will, so he was tough to fight.
Alouette: No, no. Not that kind of stuff. I mean feelings like "oh, how cute," "isn't it pretty"...
Zero: He was kind of creepy.
Alouette: Zero, you big dummy!!
Andrew: Hmph. Kids these days just won't listen properly, you see.
Zero: ...I don't think that's the problem.

Alouette: *sigh*...I guess no one cares about those two.
Ciel: Alouette!
Alouette: Oh...Aunt Ciel.
Ciel: Sorry. I heard all about it from the others. You're right, it wouldn't be fair not to give those Elves real names.
Alouette: Yeah...that's okay. Um, hey, Aunt Ciel...those two are going to help everyone, right? They're good kids, right?
Ciel: That's right. If we study those Baby Elves, I think we'll find clues on a new source of energy.
Alouette: I'm so glad! I'm always praying that they'll make new energy for us.
Ciel: Thank you. I'll try my hardest too.
Alouette: I hope they hear my prayers too...
Ciel: Oh! That's it. Alouette, I think it would be nice if we named those Elves exactly what you're wishing for.
Alouette: What I'm wishing for?
Ciel: If we do that, I'm sure your wishes will reach them.
Alouette: What I'm wishing for... That they'll create new energy for us... That my prayers will reach them... Create...and pray. Aunt Ciel. Can we make these into names?
Ciel: Hm... "Create" is Créer. "Pray" is Prier, I think.
Alouette: Créer and Prier...That's it! Créer and Prier. I think that's what we should name them...what about you?
Ciel: Good idea! I think those names are perfect.
Alouette: Yeah! Hey, can we go to your room right now? I want to tell the Elves right away!
Ciel: Sure. And we can't leave your doll all torn up like that either.
Alouette: Hehe. Yay! Créer, Prier, hehe, Aunt Ciel! Let's go, let's go!

Leviathan: Aaaahh!
Fefnir: Now you've done it..I'll blow you to pieces!  (Fefnir fires but gets smashed by Omega's claw.)  Augh!
Omega: Guooooo...

The release of the Dark Elf once resonated with Omega, the Devil Repliroid who plunged the world into terror.  When the apparition calling himself Doctor Vile appeared in front of me, I knew that the utopia Neo Arcadia was no more than an illusion created at the end of the bloody battle.  But if the friends I spent my life with, fought with, made promises with, the sworn enemies I fought my hardest against, were all a dream... That couldn't be.  Otherwise everything in this world would be an illusion.  All the power, all the deceit, were now to reveal a history steeped in madness.

"Emergency Floor Center!"
"The delegation?  Send it over there."
"Master X has been brought back!"
"That Vile..what could they have done together.."
"Well..if they prepare the data and don't analyze it.."
"They should bring him in by force!"
"That is..the orders are coming down from Master X that he is cancelling his exile, and appointing him as an important government official."

Subordinate: Master Harpuia!  Master X is..
Harpuia: ..What's happening with Fefnir and Leviathan's condition?
Subordinate: That is.. Doctor Vile's instructions take the highest priority.  Since the maintenance team, along with the medical support team, has its hands full at the moment..
Harpuia: What did you say..?!

Human: Master Harpuia.
Harpuia: You..!  Only three people?
Human: Yes, when we heard that those two had suffered serious injuries, we came as fast as we could.  At a time like this, there's little we humans can do.
Harpuia: I'm sorry.  ..Well, how are they doing?
Human: Well.  We gave them the best treatment we could, but apparently they lost consciousness as soon as the transfer was complete, and now, their condition remains critical.  As for when they'll wake up..we don't..

Inarabitta: Aahh, what, you finally got back, Harpuia.  You're pretty slow for someone who can fly.  Hey!  Hurry up and get those two pieces of scrap metal and free up the room!
Harpuia: What..!
Mantisk: Kyahahahaha..  Want us to help you dispose of them?  Since it's been this long and you still haven't stopped the Resistance, you're about to be fired.  Neo Arcadia doesn't have enough extra energy to waste it on failures.
Harpuia: Watch your mouth!  Those two went to fight against the Devil Repliroid so the tragedy of a century ago wouldn't be repeated!
Cerberian: Goruruuaahhh...!  Stop your whining, you little gnat!  We have to prepare for Lord Vile.  It doesn't matter what happens with your friends!
Harpuia: Did you say..Lord..Vile?  You..what are you talking about!
Foxstar: Ohoho.. While you were lollygagging around, Lord Vile gave us an upgrade.  Yes...somehow it's so refreshing..it's a good feeling!  Hoohohoho...!
Harpuia: What!
Inarabitta: You're not too quick on the uptake.  Since you couldn't handle that idiot from somewhere calling himself Zero, we have to take care of the disruption.  Hey!  There isn't enough room for Lord Vile's research.  Get out of the way already, blockhead!
Harpuia: Ch.. All Vile's doing.. I won't leave Neo Arcadia..the future of humans..to your loose idea of justice any longer!

him your power?
Phantom: ...My darkness... serves no other light than yours. Is the truth of his blade enough to protect humans and repliroids...? All I am able to do... is merely to ascertain this truth for myself. If I once again... become to the blade...
Cyber X: You never change... do you.
Phantom: One who changes easily can never be called loyal.
Cyber X: I understand. I trust in that unwavering heart of yours. Trust in me, as well. Zero will surely overcome anything.

Fefnir:  Oraoraorahh!
Fefnir:  What's this?  What a surprise to see you complaining.  Good thing I was here, then!  Hup. [1]
Leviathan:  But we're a little better off for it!  It's not every day you get to see Show-Off Boy with such a perplexed expression on his face.  Hah!  Yah!  (She attacks.)

Harpuia:  Hn..  You two are late.
Leviathan:  We came as fast as we could.  My body's still full of dust.  So let's get this over with fast, I want to coat myself in the pool in the Maintenance Gym and fix it.
Fefnir:  Heh, too bad.  We're just dropping in for a bit.  I've just come from meeting Master X too.  But we're supposed to be able to hear the full story from you.  Apparently, we need to blow Vile and Omega to smithereens.
Harpuia:  I see.  Right now, Vile is the ruler of Neo Arcadia.  Following me would be treason against Neo Arcadia.  Are you okay with that?
Leviathan:  Hahahah..  Unbelievable.  Has he ever asked us for our opinion before, I wonder?
Fefnir:  What's that, huh?  Doesn't seem like it.  You practically always had to proudly order us around with that obnoxious look on your face!
Harpuia:  Hm..so I did.  Together, we will defeat Vile and Omega.  What we have to protect isn't the name of Neo Arcadia, and it isn't the position of the Four Guardians.
Fefnir:  Our power is for the sake of humans!
Leviathan:  For the sake of the justice we believe in!
Harpuia:  Let's go!
Fefnir:  Oraoraoraoraoraa!
Leviathan:  Yaah!
Harpuia:  Haah!

Harpuia:  However the future hidden in the shadows beyond the door may turn out.  Wind drives away the fog, fire shows the road.  Water enriches the body, and shadow reflects oneself...  By the four heavens, we will become a light to guide the world!  Master X..  For humans' sake, we can continue to fight.  Even if it means our lives are exhausted as an offering for justice.
